FA hit Chelsea with 74 charges as Premier League giants accused over 13 seasons
Chelsea have been hit with 74 charges by the FA as the Premier League side has been accused of breaches falling between 2009 and 2022 with the Premier League club responding in a statement
Chelsea have been hit by 74 charges from the FA with regards to working with intermediaries and third party investments in players.
The alleged rule breaches fall under Roman Abramovich's ownership, with charges ranging from 2009 to 2022. A statement that was posted on the FA website outlined the rules the London club has been alleged of breakers.
The statement said: "The Football Association has today charged Chelsea FC with breaches of Regulations J1 and C2 of The FA Football Agents Regulations.
"Regulations A2 and A3 of The FA Regulations on Working with Intermediaries, and Regulations A1 and B3 of The FA Third Party Investment in Players Regulations.
"In total, 74 charges have been brought against Chelsea FC. The conduct that is the subject of the charges ranges from 2009 to 2022 and primarily relates to events which occurred between the 2010/11 to 2015/16 playing seasons.
"Chelsea FC has until 19 September 2025 to respond."
Chelsea say the alleged breaches were self-reported by the club - who are now owned by the Clearlake and Todd Boehly consortium following their takeover in 2022.
Boehly took over the club after Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
A statement from Chelsea said: "Chelsea FC is pleased to confirm that its engagement with The FA concerning matters that were self-reported by the club is now reaching a conclusion.
"The club’s ownership group completed its purchase of the club on 30 May 2022.
"During a thorough due diligence process prior to completion of the purchase, the ownership group became aware of potentially incomplete financial reporting concerning historical transactions and other potential breaches of FA rules.
"Immediately upon the completion of the purchase, the club self-reported these matters to all relevant regulators, including The FA.
"The club has demonstrated unprecedented transparency during this process, including by giving comprehensive access to the club’s files and historical data.
"We will continue working collaboratively with The FA to conclude this matter as swiftly as possible. We wish to place on record our gratitude to The FA for their engagement with the club on this complex case, the focus of which has been on matters that took place over a decade ago."
